Scrabbler

Do you know if you have Eastern or Western Cedar trees?

6:03 am

ItalianGreyhound

6:03 am

Scrabbler

OK. I see Eastern Cedars in the Adirondack Mtns.

6:04 am

Scrabbler

Does the 8 end in -ing?

6:04 am

ItalianGreyhound

Robespierre

How can â€œacaiâ€ possibly not be included in the dictionary?

6:55 am

hurshy

8:01 am

EvaNadine

8:01 am

EvaNadine

my challenge is finding pants that simultaneously cover his ankles + his buttcrack. LOL

8:02 am

mael

8:02 am

MollyL

The FAA delayed all flights until 9 AM due to a computer problem

8:02 am

mael

8:03 am

mael

my husband is flying but it must not be something that affects non-commercial flights

8:11 am

mael

FW! no list, that always feels like an accomplishment haha

8:20 am

EvaNadine

i took a break to box up my christmas mantel.
i also have a whole crew here right now working on my kitchen...
so well see if my brain cells can jive iwth all that. lol

8:29 am

MollyL

And this is "working from home" ðŸ˜Š

8:30 am

mael

working from home is great and also terrible

8:30 am

mael

for me at least

8:33 am

EvaNadine

agreed. on quiet workdays, im able to get so much more accomplished at home. but then i FIND more things at home that NEED doing.

8:33 am

EvaNadine

but also, with how long this kitchen has been taking, im not sure HOW i would have managed this if i DIDNT work from home.

8:37 am

MollyL

You gotta love Eddie Murphy for this quote at The Golden Globe awards..."To achieve success, prosperity and longevity... you just do these three things. Pay your taxes, mind your business, and keep Will Smith's wife's name out of your mouth."

8:54 am

hokie carla

ooh, found the 8

8:57 am

EvaNadine

finally hit the list for my last few, but
~*~*~*~*~*FIREBIRDS*~*~*~*~*~

8:59 am

hokie carla

I read that in pitbull's Fireball song. well done.

9:02 am

hokie carla

easiest c ever?

9:05 am

rururocks

that's a great line. I think Will Smith's wife is a creepy person

9:06 am

hokie carla

agreed

9:07 am

hokie carla

did you finish last night, ruru?

9:08 am

hokie carla

the grid

9:09 am

rururocks

not quite.. I got down to five and fell asleep

9:10 am

rururocks

I'm going to bed much earlier these days than I used to

9:12 am

EvaNadine

i SHOULD go to bed early.
but do i? of course not.

9:14 am

MollyL

Yeah, anyone who has sex with a friend of their son's is pretty creepy to me too

9:15 am

hokie carla

I took some sleep aid last night. was tired of staying up til 2am-ish

9:16 am

rururocks

oh I know Molly, wasn't that disgusting? what do they have an open marriage or something she's a freak

9:17 am

hokie carla

I think that's how she justified it, by saying they had an open marriage

9:17 am

MollyL

I don't get the concept of open marriage. If you are going to have sex with multiple partners, why marry?

9:18 am

rururocks

but how old was the kid?

9:18 am

hokie carla

ha! just found the word that I struggled with to finish yesterday's

9:18 am

hokie carla

I think he was early 20s

9:18 am

rururocks

ewwwwwwwwww

9:19 am

rururocks

I think it's best to have sex with multiple partners all at one time and get it over with :D

9:19 am

dan2bit

same, carla!

9:20 am

hokie carla

I guess you can teach old dogs new tricks, huh dan?

9:20 am

MollyL

The guy is 21 years younger than Jada

9:20 am

hokie carla

darn, thought for sure triwing would work

9:20 am

rururocks

I can see 10-11 years.. but over twenty is a bit much

9:21 am

rururocks

they should offer her a Marvel Character's new movie role

9:21 am

rururocks

Black Cougar

9:21 am

MollyL

It is the friend of her son part that gives me the eebie-geebies

9:21 am

dan2bit

off by one letter for the 7, carla

9:22 am

hokie carla

thanks dan, my word seems more real than that one

9:22 am

dan2bit

hokie carla

I have one M and 3 F's so can't help

9:25 am

hokie carla

there's 2 easy words I missed, F & H

9:26 am

hokie carla

oh, there's the M. that was invisible.

9:26 am

dan2bit

I have 2 x mi4

9:26 am

hokie carla

my mind wrote that letter off

9:26 am

hokie carla

big points, dan

9:27 am

dan2bit

oh duh

9:27 am

rururocks

9:27 am

dan2bit

finito - tx carla and all cluers

9:27 am

hokie carla

well done, dan

9:27 am

dan2bit

you don't have to badger me, ruru

9:27 am

hokie carla

what a weasel

9:28 am

rururocks

well you were trying to weasel a clue no?

9:28 am

rururocks

(you owe me a coke hokie)

9:28 am

dan2bit

i ferreted it out

9:29 am

rururocks

hopefully no one will make a big skink out of our punning

9:29 am

hokie carla

dam, we switched animal types?

9:30 am

dan2bit

it was voleuntary

9:30 am

hokie carla

speaking of voles, they are destroying our yard right now. just took winston out and stepped on all the tunnels I saw.

9:34 am

hokie carla

was just getting to that methodically

9:35 am

dan2bit

It's one on my always-miss-it list, along with raia and etna

9:36 am

hokie carla

I usually get it but its up and back today

9:36 am

MollyL

I always wonder what people mean by great word. Sounds cool? Great meaning (can't be in this case)?

9:37 am

dan2bit

perfect description of a tiny grid?

9:37 am

hokie carla

I think it's a big word we all know but don't often see here.
